What a great niche to think about covering. Also, I like the idea someone posted that this would give a new VA (like myself) a chance to discover their niche if they didn't have one. Thanks for the posting and the replies! __________________ Anjanette Precise Assistance

I build web sites and help new business with their graphic logo/image and marketing design this was a very inspirational idea, and gave me tons to think about. When I put in for my business license for my pet services - the next day I was receiving stuff in the mail solicitors- Now I wonder where they got my info from? Must be the place I turned in my app for the License. Hummm - that's something to look into. Thanks again for the ideas... Rebecca Brackney Virtual Personal Assistant

Start up business seems like an excellent idea! I think you're right. As a matter of fact as a new VA I am thinking on targeting Hispanic Start up Businesses. Best of luck to you! __________________ Your Virtual Assistant--Bilingual www.AssistantOffice.com

I specialize in small business and I love it. I have found that my clients pay upfront for everything too (I don't require that - at all). It's easier for them so I don't complain - why would I? __________________ Jaimie VanSickle, Premier Virtual Assistant

You just have to make sure you get with the right one that is going to be persistent in their business. I have found that sometimes they get off to a great start, and then give up. Overall it's a great thing if you can grow with the business.

It should have listings for micro, small, et.-al. Jackie
